As well as a Board Approved Counselor Supervisor (ACS) in Maryland and a Certified Dialectical Behavioral Therapist (C-DBT). With over eight years of experience in the field of mental health, I am open to working with children, teens, adults, and their families through various presenting concerns.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
What you can expect from our first session ... We may meet for a 15 minute consultation session to determine if we are the right fit to begin your treatment. Every individual has the capacity to achieve a life worth living. I strive to empower my clients to develop the skills & resources they need to succeed. My experience has provided me with the knowledge, expertise, & empathy necessary to support clients. Together, we will work on strategies that allow addressing the root causes of difficulties.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One moment that solidified my desire to become a therapist was seeing firsthand how many youths feelings were dismissed and their behaviors unfairly accused by adults in their lives. I knew I wanted to be a listening ear and advocate for these individuals, and has been committed to that goal ever since. My expertise lies in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Client-Centered therapy.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
A bit about my approach to therapy... As a practitioner, I focus on providing individual Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), centered on the belief that "You are the expert on you." I am a dedicated & passionate professional who specializes in working with at-risk and transitional age youth, as well as members of the LGBTQIA community between the ages of 12-30+.
